Not just good. Novel, if they're counted legally.
Politics is a game. the republican team fumbled. America takes the loss.
Ditto that! Can we say "Gridlock" for the next 2 Years at least?
Prez Bush wiil have no use for his dried out veto pen, because nothing will come out of the House and/or Senate.
I can see the Democrats pissing and moaning that the Republicans (recovering from a very bad bruised lip) are thwarting the will of the people and not cooperating!
"I will tell you, in NY, I am more pissed about the Comptroller than the House of Representatives. We just re-elected a man who embezzled $100k worth of services from the state for his wife - and he's the damned fiscal watchdog."
Isn't that hysterical?
He's probably going to be impeached before the swearing in!
Actually, the pathetic excuse I heard the Democratic chairman make was "You can't judge a man's 20-year career based on one incident."
Like hell I can't.
Spitzer, Clinton; they don't piss me off. I knew they were coming (and frankly, Spitzer ranks as a great AG in my opinion for the way he resurrected the Martin Act and took on Wall Street.) Hevesi, OTOH - that really bothers me.
Conservatives have far more meaningful and richer lives. Just compare the kinds of the threads and posts that appear at DU to those at FR. FR is a fun, richly-varied, and hopeful place.
On its best days, DU is a dank and dreary DUngeon.
Here's the best part: the Demoncrats are destined to lose again, and in a BIG way.
This is a temporary and relatively modest swing their direction. The brutal reality is, they are doomed by demographic trends. They are not reproducing (abortion, euthanasia, and gay marriage are demographic dead ends). Democrats, especially the more liberal among them, are becoming extinct. That's a fact.
Blue states are projected to lose 10-15 congressional seats to red states in the reapportionment following the 2010 election alone.
Liberalism didn't win this time out. Bush hate won. Bush's term ends in two years. What will they do then?
Tonight, liberals are dead men cheering.
If you think about it the election was very much front center church and faith but under the heading of "gay priests, separation of church/state... a very secretarian view all wrapped up in a value bow. Scary.
It'll be interesting to see how this dooms the Democrats in 2008.
Rush will have plenty of good material over the next 2 years lol
Come on rooster. Let's be adults. You can show your anger without dropping F-bombs, etc. Your post will undoubtedly show up around the net as how the members of FR are all psychotic. I'm just as upset, but I allow my children to read this site because we do not typically post like this.
Love the name, don't think Wayne would approve of the language on a public forum
More like 2001-now. R's have had control of the entire federal government since Jan, 2001, but somehow we still have gun control laws, the AMT, estate and death taxes, pork spending beyond even the 'rat's wildest dreams, CFR, the list goes on and on. (Well, ok, not actually beyond the 'rat's wildest dreams, not even close.)
Bingo. If the Republicans play this right, it means a White House win in 08'. This was mostly about a war that's dragged on for too long....not about taxes.
This not a awful thing. Will the Republicans finally get back on the reservation? They will have to to get the house back in 08'.
See what I mean.
Fox is a big loser as well in this. Theyve become like the rest. Unwatchable. TV off in my household.
I second that! Utah..the Red Bastion.
secretarian ///// opps, how about secularism. Sorry
You make great points
But...
The House republicans had the toughest illegal immigration bill. JD Hayworth lost tonight.
Im a big supporter of the Iraq War but I cannot ignore the republicans Im hearing on conservative talk radio right now calling and saying they either did not vote or voted democrat because if Iraq. I think we tied the hands of our troops to the point that it slowed down the victory. We just have to stop worrying about Europe's concern how we treat terrorists. We really do.
Last I heard, it stayed (R). For all it matters. Bruno, Silver and Pataki are the most corrupt triumverate in American politics.
